GANSEVOORT PARK AVENUE HOTEL
Stayed at the Gansevoort Park Avenue Hotel for 6 nights end of December. This place was recommended by a friend who stayed there a month earlier and had positive feedback of this place. We also checked Tripadvisor to check the ratings and apparently the average rating was 4.5/5. Therefore, I had quite high expectations for this hotel but was in fact disappointed by almost everything this hotel has to offer.

Pros:
- The amenities were good( cutler-line )
- The amenities were good( cutler-line )
- Comfy beds
- Stylish hotel and good location (Subway, McDonalds, Sandwich, Bagel Shop nearby)
Cons:
- Super noisy; the walls and doors are very thin. woke up around 3-4am multiple times due to loud banging on the walls. Also, people having conversations in the hallway sound as if they're in the room with you.

- The vent in our room is super noisy and keeps making a clicking noise
- Saw a mouse running around the lobby, which was quickly dispatched by the excellent door staff.
- Lobby was a complete s-show at times given that it was during new years eve
- Had to take the stairs down several times as the elevators were very slow
- My neighbors took the liberty to smoke up which ended up permeating into our room and now need to wash all of my clothes

- Our concierge hooked us up with NBA tickets, however we found out that we were completely ripped off (paying USD250 per ticket) when the seats were really far from the court
Given all the cons, I would rate this hotel as a 2 out of 5.

EVENTI HOTEL
Eventi hotel is another new stylish hotel that recently opened in NY. It's part of the Kimpton Hotel and when I saw there's a special offer to purchase two nights for USD450 (the average nightly rate normally is USD 190.00 - USD 420.00)
on Jetsetter.com, I was determined to stay there seeing the high ratings on various websites.
As a result of a sleepless night we've encountered at Gansevoort due to our noisy neighboors on new years eve, we've called up Eventi to see if we are able to get an early check in at Eventi on 1st Jan. The staff was very helpful and was able to assist us in checking in at 8am even though the normal check in time is at 3pm.
Pros:
- Professional & Friendly Staff
- Good location
- Good amenities (Etro)
Cons:
- Weak shower
- Small room
I would rate this hotel 3.5/5. Overall, Eventi is a decent hotel (much better than Gansevoort) but I probably would not stay there again as I could probably find a hotel with better location and quality for that price.
